Sorry, I didn't read the post fully.

I'd be perfectly happy with "any changes to the file means it's counted as a new book." I was just shocked to find the file deleted rather than updated or invisible to the Kobo.

That makes two of us. It took me a while to work out what was going on.

How recent? I bought my Mini a few weeks ago.
The last real change I noticed was probably three or four firmware versions ago. But, 2.8.1 should do what you want. It isn't deleting the book, just removing the book details and adding it as a new book. Your Mini should update sometime in the next few days, or you can download and install it yourself. See https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...d.php?t=185660 for the links and instructions.

I'd meant that I don't have access to the files I'd copied to the Kobo; I have the one on the Kobo, which I may have edited since it got there. I bounce between a desktop and two laptops, and am used to using my ereader as portable ebook storage in addition to holding files I want to read.
Thanks for that explanation. I can see why you want what you are asking for. I think 2.8.1 solves it for you. Otherwise, versioning the file would be the way to go.
